Track Lyrics
Chaos From Within Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cowering like settlers on someone else's land
Mistaking advances of the natives
Who have come to lend a hand
It's a sad and pathetic badge of shame, my friends
Terror always seems to win
In the drama of human motivation
Where is restraint and reason?
[Chorus]
Threat is urgent, existential
With patience wearing thin
But the danger's elemental
It's chaos from within
[Verse 2]
The fox-stained leaves of civilization
Depict a stark repeat
It's always a flaw in reasoning
That fates the citizenry
When the ancestor fell from the arbor
The march of fear began
But the predator wallowed in failure
In the face of consciousness
[Chorus]
Threat is urgent, existential
Time to scan the horizon
But the danger's elemental
It's chaos from within
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Threat is urgent, existential
Omnipresent like a skin
But the danger's purely mental
It's chaos from within
Chaos from within
Do the Paranoid Style Lyrics
[Chorus]
Hey, let's jump around
To the renegade sound of the paranoid style
Hey, get upside down
To the American sound of the paranoid style
[Verse 1]
Everybody, have you heard the news?
The old dance with wicked moves
It's been around for many a year
So polish up your granddad's gear
And shake, shake, shake with fear
Waive your rights like you just don't care
Anyone can do it, it's easy if you dare
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the paranoid style in American politics
Casey Jones, you better watch your apocalypse
Illumination and fluoridation
Are communist plots against the population
[Chorus]
Hey, let's jump around
To the renegade sound of the paranoid style
Hey, get upside down
To the American sound of the paranoid style
[Verse 2]
Hey, kids on the right and left, do you feel dispossessed?
If you're on the left or right, I feel your pain tonight
So shake off reality, it's easy as you please
Soon everyone is dancing conspiratorially
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the paranoid style in American politics
Casey Jones, you better watch your apocalypse
All kinds of wild interpretation
Are open to the paranoid imagination, shamone
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Hey, let's jump around
To the renegade sound of the paranoid style
Hey, get upside down
To the American sound of the paranoid style
Lose Your Head Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I ain't superstitious, but hey, do you know a good exorcist?
Despite darker tendencies, I've always had a strong bias to exist
And though recent developments seem like bad news for humanity
Self-pity is always a case of mistaken identity
[Chorus]
Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
Before you lose your head, yeah
[Verse 2]
Religion, who needs it? And by the way, how should we bury our dead?
"I doubt that it matters much, son," that's what the postman said
There's an accident waiting to happen at all times anyway
And maybe we'd all benefit from some epistemic humility
[Chorus]
Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
Before you lose your head, yeah
[Bridge]
And when your life endeavor
Evades your clever meddling
It's only headphone weather
So get your head together
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
Lose your head, yeah
Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
Don't lose your head
Soon we'll all be dead, yeah
End of History Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Halcyon days are not a thing
Nostalgia is an excuse for stupidity
I don't believe in golden ages
Or presidents that put kids in cages
America awaits on bended knee
Can't you see?
[Chorus]
Sweet children, Locke's burden
Why did mother draw the curtains?
Free will is your dilemma
(What will the dust remember?)
Tell me where (Where) do you really want to be
At the end of history?
[Verse 2]
Utopia is an opiated dream
What we want is an open society
One torn and frayed at the edges
With pages of imperfect changes
And every hallmark of rationality
Can't you see?
[Chorus]
Sweet children, Locke's burden
Why did mother draw the curtains?
Free will is your dilemma
(What will the dust remember?)
Tell me where (Where) do you really want to be
At the end of history?
[Bridge]
At the end of history, nobody will be innocent
Of naked crimes against eternity
Now we're in the last second of our December
Tell me, how do you want to be remembered?
For generosity or a fuckin' monstrosity?
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Tell me where (Where) do you really want to be
(At the end of history?)
Tell me where (Where) do you really want to be
(At the end of history?)
Tell me where (Where) do you really want to be
(At the end of history?)
Tell me where (Where) do you really want to be
At the end of history?
Age of Unreason Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just to think that not so long ago
Was a man who risked his life
Who challenged all the lies offered as sacred truth
Just to cast a brighter light
[Pre-Chorus]
The notion that we
Can live as one in perfect harmony
Requires a common sensibility
To teach an intellectual capacity that I believe
Is in the air, but everywhere
Is the ultimate act of treason
That so few could be aware
That their nation's heart is bleedin'
[Chorus]
But oh, when the violence has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
While the fools believe as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
[Verse 2]
Just to think that not so long ago
Was a man who received the seal
He peddled blatant lies and brought back tyranny
To divide his people with zeal
[Pre-Chorus]
But we can live as one in perfect harmony
It requires a common sensibility
To teach an intellectual capacity that I believe
Is in the air, but everywhere
Is the ultimate act of treason
That so few could be aware
That their nation's heart is bleedin'
[Chorus]
But oh, as a child who plays for fun
With his eye up to the barrel of a gun
Watchin' fools believe as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
Now that darkness has begun
We decree the pen more mighty than the gun
Watch the fools believe as one
In this unrepentant age of unreason
Faces of Grief Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three, four!
[Verse 1]
Broken engines of belief
Iniquity in stark relief
Red rabble of mendacity
(A cabal of psychopathy)
Grim bailiffs wait like minarets
While sister fends a mounting threat
In crucible of hypocrisy
(A Greco-Roman tragedy)
[Chorus]
Faces of grief, rage is a key, pain is a thief
Faces of grief, rage is a key, pain is a thief
[Post-Chorus]
Amidst darkness, let us vow to insure
Her light will be remembered
[Verse 2]
Radicalized Evangelicals
Awash in primate chemicals
Bare shiny fangs for all to see
(A rictus of misogyny)
Obeisance to a maniac
The slavering lackeys stay on track
In this democracy's darkest hour
(A doctor dares speak truth to power)
[Chorus]
Faces of grief, rage is a key, pain is a thief
Faces of grief, rage is a key, pain is a thief
[Post-Chorus]
Amidst darkness, let us vow to insure
Her light will be remembered
Old Regime Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three!
[Verse 1]
Privilege from birth, abhorrence of work
Obsessed with sovereignty
Aristocrats claim an exemption
From the standards of democracy
[Pre-Chorus]
A secret antipathy to justice and equality
And a tightly constrained definition of who is free
[Chorus]
Old regime, smoke of history
Liberty still wafting in the breeze
The new aristocracy just smells like the old regime
Woah-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
They think that they can alter and sway
Which version of freedom reigns
If everything is subjective
Then what good is truth anyway?
[Pre-Chorus]
A plutocratic strategy or technocrat conspiracy
Or a vision of utopia that only the besotten can see
[Chorus]
Old regime, smoke of history
Liberty still wafting in the breeze
The new aristocracy just smells like the old regime
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
An unabated tendency to tyranny is still in place
And the ancient nobility's complexion differs just in name
[Chorus]
Old regime, smoke of history
Liberty still wafting in the breeze
A new season dawns with ominous prophecy (Ah-ah)
Yeah, the new aristocracy just smells like the old regime
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Downfall Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's never really clear when the end is near
’Til you take a hard look in the rear view mirror
And I'm pretty sure we're just running on fumes
No one really cares about the route
Beaches break down and the waves retreat
Are we stuck in some perpetual repeat?
Maybe we’re like massive cliffs of sand
Waiting for the plates to smash again
[Chorus]
Downfall, gravity calls
Entropy makes fools of us all
Downfall, you can't forestall
It's the proof there ain't no invisible hand
[Verse 2]
No one 'round here can contain their fears
Just contented with false hope to soothe the tears
Faith is king while truth is on the lam
Disenfranchised scientists be damned
[Chorus]
Downfall, gravity calls
Entropy makes fools of us all
Downfall, it's a natural law
And the judge don't have no use for the witness stand
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Downfall, it's a natural law
Entropy makes fools of us all
Downfall, kill the guy with the ball
And make sure he can’t get up to take a stand
[Outro]
Downfall
